“Delphi Research lab was using chromic acid to treat glassware stains. In 1995, the company switched to a non-chromium based cleaner (NOCHROMIX®). The benefits that the company gained from this switch include improved worker safety, lower disposal costs, reduced environmental liability, and improved employee morale.”

NOCHROMIX® is ideal for basic research, educational, biochemical, clinical chemistry and trace analysis laboratories. It is recommended by the ASTM for certain glass cleaning procedures, and suggested for for use by the US EPA and “Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste Water”.

ADVANTAGES

NOCHROMIX® is a metal free cleaning solution that offers many benefits to all chemical or biological laboratories, but it is especially is useful where living cells and enzymes or trace metal analysis are involved. Chromium compounds are highly toxic to cells and enzymes.

NOCHROMIX®:

Does not contain metal ions or toxic heavy metal residues that absorb to the glass surface and cause possible interference with precision measurements in biological enzymes and other reactions.
